Hawley Expands AI Surveillance Probe to Motorola, Verkada, Axon

Sen. Josh Hawley is broadening his inquiry into AI-backed surveillance by sending letters to Motorola Solutions, Verkada, and Axon Enterprise, asking for details on data retention, access, misuse incidents, and safeguards, as part of his ongoing scrutiny of Flock Safety-like camera networks. The move follows his earlier outreach to Flock Safety and underscores nationwide concerns about privacy, civil liberties, and the use of license-plate/vehicle-tracking tech by law enforcement, with some states already taking steps to curb such programs.
